Dig in, dig in…
- Lane Kiffin let eighth grader David Sills sit in on a quarterbacks meeting. I guess next year he’ll take a few snaps with USC’s scout team.
- Stephen Garcia guarantees his behavior. The good thing is that he’s got less than a year to keep that up.
- In Columbia, they all must look alike. If by “they” you mean 6’6″ and wear dreadlocks, that is.
- Ralph Nader continues to get boffo reviews for his scholarship proposal.
- Most places are just getting spring practice underway, but Texas Tech finished yesterday. That’s what Tubs wanted.
- Jarvis Jones talks more about his move outside.
- And Tavarres King is feeling a little pressure.
- Note to NCAA: Pearl down, Tressel to go.
Get The Picture 
“But all that Nader’s gameplan lacks is common sense.” That pretty much some’s up his career.

Don’t worry, the person who let Clowney into the bar has been fired and replaced with someone who knows nothing about ‘Cock football. A downtown bar is the first place to canvas for robbery suspects.

You know if this had happened to a player downtown in Athens he would have been arrested on the spot instead of detained and questioned for a little while. The Cock fans would be all over us with the thug stuff again.

There used to be a bar in East Cobb that kept Walton HS year books on hand to compare ID’s with grad class.
I guess these bar keeps will have to get a Rivals subscription.

You’ve got to appreciate the irony of the Tressel article being penned by an Auburn grad.

What are the odds of Kiffykin’s still being a coach by the time this kid makes it to choosing a college.

Lane reminds me of the spoiled child that just can’t keep from getting in trouble. Let’s see he has offered this kid, against NCAA rules, he has had him come to a meeting and sit in, again against NCAA rules. Why does the NCAA just suspend the pompous bastard for a few games to let him know they are thinking of him.

So why wasn’t Clowney cited for being in a bar underage? He got some bouncer fired, why wasn’t he cited? And the police chief decided to demean himself by putting on a little skit with Spurrier for the news media? I guess he’s just like President Gee, hoping the football coach won’t fire him for doing his job. Just another day in Columbia.

The article about Pearl and Tressell misses the point. Auburn is running a pay for play operation and everyone but the NCAA seems to know it. That is way worse than either pearl or Tressell. Why doesn’t the NCAA do something about that?

Because the NCAA is now in a CYA mode. If they now do anything to Auburn it would look like they should have known what was going on all a long. They suspended Scam for one day and the committee on getting the big time schools off the hook let him off Scot free. They are not going to reopen that can of worms. Ohio State on the other hand had better bend over because the NCAA is going to make an example out of them to help their image.

So….UGA gets a slap on the wrist for having Crowell line up in a formation (and rightly so IMO), but USC can have an 8th grader sit in on and take part in a QB meeting?

I wondered the same thing

Actually, Crowell didn’t line up in a formation. They just lined up in a formation that was missing a RB in front of him.

“According to whoever posted it, that video was shot just after Clowney had been detained and patted down by police in the parking lot of a bar, the Salty Nut Café”

Is the Salty Nut anywhere in the vicinity of the Whitney?
